3x-2=-x-6

do the inverse and add 2 to the whole number on the other side which is -6

3x=-x-4

do the inverse with the variable -x and add x to 3x

4x=-4

divide -4/4 since the inverse of multiplication is division

x=-1

1. $Solution,\frac{2x^3+4x^2-5}{x+3}:\quad 2x^2-2x+6-\frac{23}{x+3}$

$Steps:$

$\mathrm{Divide}\:\frac{2x^3+4x^2-5}{x+3}:\quad \frac{2x^3+4x^2-5}{x+3}=2x^2+\frac{-2x^2-5}{x+3}$

$\mathrm{Divide}\:\frac{-2x^2-5}{x+3}:\quad \frac{-2x^2-5}{x+3}=-2x+\frac{6x-5}{x+3}$

$\mathrm{Divide}\:\frac{6x-5}{x+3}:\quad \frac{6x-5}{x+3}=6+\frac{-23}{x+3}$

$\mathrm{Simplify}, =2x^2-2x+6-\frac{23}{x+3}$

$\mathrm{The\:Correct\:Answer\:is\:2x^2-2x+6-\frac{23}{x+3}}$

2. $Solution, \frac{4x^3-2x^2-3}{2x^2-1}:\quad 2x-1+\frac{2x-4}{2x^2-1}$

$Steps:$

$\mathrm{Divide}\:\frac{4x^3-2x^2-3}{2x^2-1}:\quad \frac{4x^3-2x^2-3}{2x^2-1}=2x+\frac{-2x^2+2x-3}{2x^2-1}$

$\mathrm{Divide}\:\frac{-2x^2+2x-3}{2x^2-1}:\quad \frac{-2x^2+2x-3}{2x^2-1}=-1+\frac{2x-4}{2x^2-1}$

$\mathrm{The\:Correct\:Answer\:is\:2x-1+\frac{2x-4}{2x^2-1}}$

$\mathrm{Hope\:This\:Helps!!!}$

I think it's a pattern, so x would be 3 and y would be 5 for the first one

x would be 20 for the second
